    Monday Night Football heading to ESPN after 2005?

    It looks like it's going to happen. Right now, Disney is losing 150 million a year on MNF...with their 550 million dollar package...

    It also pays 600 million for the ESPN package on Sunday Nights...and doesn't lose money...

    The belief is that Disney will roll with a big offer for ESPN to carry MNF...and give up their Sunday Night package....

    it looks like TNT would be at the top to snag it, although FOX and NBC may be a factor as well...

    MNF not on Network TV?

    It could happen...and probably would be a good thing...

    unless the NFL would allow ABC to pick their matchups for the halfway point...

      With the bar being so much more level between network and cable, this won't be that big of deal I don't think.

      Whatever it takes, get that next season here dammit.

          I don't know that it will be a big deal for us...

          just take a game or two to get used to it not being on real tv...

          I do think ratings will go down...and I do think that Madden may rethink his deal...I don't think he left FOX to goto ESPN...

              It may get rid of Thiesman though...

              but dear god...if Madden and Michaels left (and I think both would consider it...)

              could you imagine if they moved their Sunday Team to MONDAY!

              What a nightmare...

                  Maybe not, but they would probably pony up a tad more for him to keep him there.

                  Maybe he moves into studio work instead, he isn't getting any younger either.

                          But Madden is still the best...

                          the Fox crew is a fucking joke...

                          jesus...what happened to the good announcers...

                          to many former pretty boys in the booth...

                              I like Madden ok ... never been that big a fan of him in the booth. He knows his shit, I wouldn't argue you that.

                              Not big on the Fox crew either.

                              Grew up on Summerall and Brookshier, Dick Enberg, Stockton, guys like that.

                              One of the fun things on Suday though watching Ticket is who has the worst announce team doing their game.

                                  Oh...I know...tell me about it...

                                  I loved CBS back in the day with Summerall and Madden as the 1 team...and Stockton and Criqui as their 2 team...

                                  NBC had Enberg and that fucking former lineman...Merlin Olsen...

                                  I liked them as well...

                                      "OH MY"

                                      Dick Enberg ... hell yeah.

                                      Man, that shows my age some being able to remember Brookshier when he was with Summerall.

                                      But I was a fan early. :D

                                              Gowdy ... another good one ...

                                              Was watching the Monday Night Game when Cosell called one of the Redskins a "little monkey", want to say Joe Washington, but might not have been. Smallish, fast offensive player.
